+Note that APC UPS serial cable part numbers follow a numbering scheme
+where the "940-" prefix identifies them as cables.
+
+       940-1000        straight through cable
+       940-0103        null modem cable
+       940-0020        Basic Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
+       940-0023        Simple Signaling Cable (OB only)
+       940-LL24        Smart Signaling Cable
+       940-0095        PnP Cable (see Apcupsd manual for diagram)
+       940-0119        Simple Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
+       940-0127        RJ45-10P10C to USB Cable
+       940-0128        Simple Signaling Cable for Back-UPS CS
+
+"LL" represents the length:
+
+       00      six feet
+       NN      NN feet
+
+The suffix letter represents a minor revision in physical design, or a
+change of OEM, _not_ a change of wiring or pin-out, and all cables
+differing only in this suffix letter are electrically interchangeable.
+Note though the following quote from the APC Discussion Forums:  "At one
+point there were a small number of revision D cables [940-0024D] that
+had some shielding issues from the manufacturer that could maybe cause
+[...] [spontaneous] self-tests)."
